As the child grows, the need for new accessories and household items for him begins to appear. One of the responsible procedures is feeding the baby. To do this, there is a convenient, practical and compact furniture - a highchair. Rating of the best models, according to customers, we will offer a little lower. In the meantime, we’ll tell you how to choose this attribute, and what are its features in general.
Convenience for mom and baby
Many parents are faced with the problem of feeding a child who dodges this way and that, so as not to eat annoyed porridge or mashed potatoes from jars. But thanks to a special stool, you do not need to hold it tightly in your hands to feed it. You can just put a child in it, and then the whole process will go much easier. We compiled our rating of highchairs taking into account many factors. We give only the main and most significant.
- Backrest : modern models are designed for children of different ages, so there are certain design differences in them. So, for very small children, you need to choose chairs in which you can tilt the back. They are designed for children who do not yet know how to sit (with their landing you need to be very careful).
- Height adjustment : the child grows quickly, and in general, each baby is individual in weight and physique. That is why it is important that the chair can be adjusted in height - so feeding the baby will become much more convenient.
- Convenient tray : over time, your child will start to eat on his own, so choose the chairs that are most stable and with a wide tray that can be removed and washed.
- Seat : different models were included in our rating of highchairs, but we preferred those that are equipped with an easily removable seat made of washable fabrics. It’s convenient to sit on it, and spilled liquids or the remnants of porridge just to clean.
Consider models of high chairs, which differ not only in price and design, but also in design features.
Options without tilt
It is necessary to choose a highchair depending on the age of the child. The ranking of the best models for children older than 4 months and up to 4 years old includes a simple and cheap but practical Safety & Food & Go chair. Due to the ease of assembly, you can even take it with you, and the inconvenience is due to the fact that you need to mount it on a stable chair or stool.
According to customer reviews, this is the cheapest option - such a model costs about 3,000 rubles. Among the advantages of mothers note the environmental cleanliness of materials, removable countertops, soft upholstery made of high-quality textiles, which does not lose color even after repeated washing. A three-point belt is responsible for holding the child in the stool.
Stokke Tripp Trapp is the second most popular model among high chairs without a tilt. Of course, it costs more, about eight thousand rubles, but parents say that this is an interesting model. In our rating of highchairs, we included it for durability and safety for the child. In addition, it grows with the child, that is, you can feed the baby in it from six months to five years.
Parents focus on the possibility of adjusting the chair and footrest, that is, you can choose a comfortable position for a particular child. The presentation of furniture also attracts attention: the chair is made of beech, has a lacquered coating, and due to its compactness it harmoniously fits even into a small kitchen space.
